A. 135/145/155/145/155/160F/struggled with 135 again–definitely expended all squatting energy! Have not been able to do a lot of the front squat work, so today was challenging.
B. 65/70/75/80
C. 4 +13– for some reason thought this was 10 min, until I re-read what I wrote on my board, then continued on, so lost a bit of time push press unbroken though.

This evening: DMA – done A – Front Squats – all done within percentages (based on 165#) 4@125# 3@135# 2@140# 3@135# 2@140# 1@150# 6@125# B – Strict Press – all done within percentages (based on 88#) 5@62# 3@66# 2@70# 2@70# 2@75# 2@75# Now these all felt pretty easy – I think I may need to test my 1RM strict press… C – I ran into a dilemma there. Class was super crowded and the rowing room was used for an intro class, so my only option would have been to run instead of row, but my calf felt kinda tight… Read more »

A) 120/125/130/125/130/140/120 stayed on light side of %, my back is hurting after the box steps overs yesterday?

D. Did the rows (70#) and snow angels.

A&B skipped. Very limited on time today. Will come and do this tomorrow
On the presses Nicole, you said you wanted me to use DB.
Do you want me to do single arm or both together. Also, what weight do you recommend I start with? (1RM strict Press 95lbs)
C) 4+ 18. Didn’t have 30lbs DB so used 25lbs

Single arm x 8 reps right arm then left arm. I’d suggest starting with 20 lbs DBs!

Were you tired off the row or did your timing on your ttb just feel off?

Lose timing after 6 or 7 ttb

I’d recommend working on them 2 days a week as a skill, no more then 30 reps per skill session.
